	NYCDOT - Bridges Information
		Many bridges not under DOT Jurisdiction are the responsibility of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority or the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
		Swing Bridges are supported on a center pier in the middle of a waterway and are opened by rotating horizontally on wheels riding on a circular track.
		Vertical Lift Bridges are movable bridges having roadways which may be raised in a manner similar to a building elevator by supporting end cables attached to rotating drums in towers on the sides of the stream.

	Welcome to MTA Bridges and Tunnels
		Bridges and Tunnels evolved from the Triborough Bridge Authority, a public benefit corporation created by the New York State Legislature in 1933 to build the Triborough Bridge when the city's attempts were halted by the Depression.
		The authority's bridges and tunnels forged vital links among the city's boroughs, ultimately shaping regional travel and economic patterns.
		Accordingly, in 1968 the Tribororough Bridge and Tunnel Authority was made part of the MTA.

		The pattern of the Harlem bridge of the future was already in place on the river in 1889, in the Washington Bridge with its fine arches spanning 510 feet each, its 135 feet of height, and its 2400 feet of length.
		The whole view of bridge and river and shore is a sharp contrast to the East River spans, with the agitated tide-water under them, and the tugs and ferries forever in motion,—another one of those contrasts so frequently met with in New York.

	New York Bridges
		Some of these bridges are still in use either for their original purpose to carry vehicular traffic or preserved and limited to foot traffic while others are abandoned and hidden away to rust.
		While the bridge is well known to those with an interest in the history of old bridges and in the locality, its relatively remote location on a back country road means that the general public is not aware of its existence and importance.
		The HOJACK bridge across the Genesee River is probably the only example of a King built railroad swing bridge still standing in the State and one of the rare ones of this vintage anywhere in the country.

		At 268 feet, the towers were certainly the "most conspicuous features" of the bridge, but the most compelling part of the story of their construction took place out of sight in the pneumatic caissons where the digging of the foundations took place.
		Thus consideration of the Williamsburg Bridge can be limited to two basic themes: the questions of aesthetics which arose as a result of the design of the bridge and the continuing changes brought on by immigration and urban growth.
		The bridge was also another step forward in the use of new materials as this was the first use of nickel steel which is stronger and lighter than carbon steel.
